Here you see (if you look very closely) part of an enormous dairy..yes, those are Holstein cows...this is between El Paso, Texas and Las Cruces.  I'd guess there are somewhere in the tens of thousands of cows here, the stench was overwhelming even in the car.  No green fields with daisies here!




Driving east from Las Cruces toward Alamogordo through the St. Augustin Pass there is a place to pull off and survey the vastness of the Tularosa Basin wherein lies the White Sands Missle Range and Holloman AFB.  It's quite the sight and quite the drive across this moonscape.
